My calves and hamstrings used to be flabby and I've noticed that they're a lot more muscular when I go to sit on my knees (for instance, doing drivetrain work in my front hallway) because I can't sit down the way I used to.<BR/><BR/>I weigh myself maybe twice a month right now. Like I said, I never felt really, terribly bad because of my weight, I just knew that it was going to present a problem so I decided to use cycling as part of my plan to get back into shape.<BR/><BR/>Enjoying the sights and sounds while packing on mile after mile on my bike, I'm far too busy to be concerned about my weight. I feel more energetic and alive now than I have in years.Noahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15271155305943176738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-29898785623972175242007-04-06T08:12:00.000-05:002007-04-06T08:12:00.000-05:00Part of the reason that you're not losing weight i...Part of the reason that you're not losing weight is probably that you're gaining muscle to replace the fat. A cubic foot of muscle weighs more than a cubic foot of fat - so even though you're getting smaller, your weight isn't dropping as fast. That's a great trade-off! <BR/><BR/>I don't even know how much I weigh, I don't think weight is a good indicator of health. I prefer measurements of my waist, neck, etc.Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05040231681301411948noreply@blogger.com
